Ranch dressing is one of the most popular dressings around and I had been thinking about making a spicy jalapeno ranch dressing for a while. Your basic ranch dressing is made with buttermilk and mayonnaise and it is seasoned with spices such as salt, pepper, paprika, and mustard along with plenty of herbs including parsley, chives and dill. All of this makes for a cool and creamy dressing but this time I was thinking more along the lines of a Texmex style ranch dressing with some heat from jalapeno peppers in addition to some fresh cilantro and a burst of lime juice. Making a ranch dressing could not be easier, you simply have to puree everything in a food processor or blender and it is ready to go. When it is this easy to make your own amazingly tasty dressings at home, why wouldn't you!

Annie Baiz: It is definitely going to change the flavour and consistency but it should not ruin things. I do think that you will need something more liquid such as regular milk or regular yogurt to thin the thick Greek yogurt out a bit.

I made an avocado lime ranch. It's quite similar, except I don't use any buttermilk or mayonnaise and just use avocados as the "fat". I add in lime juice and jalapeno juice to thin it out some. Also add water to help thin it out if it is still to thick for you. Also I made my own ranch seasoning mix, but you could put in the store bought stuff.
